Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the five New York City boroughs is not the home to a professional (MLB, NHL, NBA) sports team?

Answer: Staten Island

 Four of New York City's boroughs host professional sports teams. The New York Yankees call Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, home. Citi Field, which is located in northern Queens, is the home of the New York Mets. The New York Rangers, Liberty, and Knicks call Madison Square Garden, in Manhattan, home. Finally, the Brooklyn Nets relocated from New Jersey to Brooklyn in 2012.
2. Which two New York City boroughs are part of Long Island?

Answer: Brooklyn and Queens

 Geographically, Long Island is comprised of four counties. Two of these counties - Kings County (Brooklyn) and Queens County (Queens) - are counties of New York City. The remaining two counties - Nassau and Suffolk Counties - are suburban counties east of Queens and Brooklyn, and are not under New York City jurisdiction.

Whenever New Yorkers refer to "Long Island", they are referring to Nassau and Suffolk, but never Queens and Brooklyn.
3. Some of the neighborhoods in this New York City borough include NoMad, SoHo, Tribeca, and Nolita, all of which are acronyms that hint at the neighborhoods' geographic location.

Answer: Manhattan

 NoMad is an acronym for North of Madison Square Park, SoHo is short for South of Houston, Tribeca stands for Triangle below Canal, and Nolita is an acronym for North of Little Italy. Some other acronym-friendly areas of NYC include NoHo, which is short for North of Houston, and DUMBO, an area in Brooklyn which stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. NYers love their acronyms, I guess!
4. The largest of the boroughs also has the dubious distinction of being the cemetery capital of New York City. In which New York City borough would you find Cypress Hills Cemetery, St. John's Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and Mt. Zion Cemetery, amongst others?

Answer: Queens

 Mae West and Jackie Robinson are both interred at Cypress Hills Cemetery. It is so large that part of it lies in Queens, and part of it lies in Brooklyn.
5. Which New York City borough, located in the county of Richmond, was once home to Fresh Kills Landfill, the largest landfill in the world?

Answer: Staten Island

 Fresh Kills Landfill is approximately 2,200 acres. It was closed in 2001, but plans were announced that it was to become a public park.
6. Warriors...come out to play. The 1979 cult classic "The Warriors" was filmed throughout many locations in New York City. Can you tell me which borough the Warriors called home?

Answer: Brooklyn

 The Warriors hail from Coney Island, Brooklyn. Many exterior shots of Coney Island, including the Stillwell Avenue subway station, can be seen at the end of the movie. Some attractions in Coney Island include The Cyclone roller coaster, the New York Aquarium, and the original Nathan's restaurant.
7. In which New York City borough would you find yourself if you were at any of the following subway stations: Fordham Road, Hunts Point Avenue, Pelham Parkway, and Tremont Avenue?

Answer: The Bronx

 Fordham Road and Tremont Avenue are both stops on the B and D lines, Pelham Parkway is a stop on the 2 and 5 trains, and Hunts Point Avenue is a stop on the 6 train. All in all, seven different subway lines (the 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, B and D trains) service the Bronx.
8. New York City is the home to many public parks, and its most famous is arguably Central Park in Manhattan, which covers 843 acres, and receives about 35 million visitors each year. For a change of pace, tourists could head southeast and visit the equally attractive Prospect Park, which is located in this borough.

Answer: Brooklyn

 Prospect Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, who were also the creative force behind Central Park. Visitors can enjoy the Prospect Park Zoo or visit the Boathouse, which overlooks the only lake in Brooklyn.
9. Where is the South Street Seaport located?

Answer: Manhattan

 The South Street Seaport is located on the southeast side of Manhattan, where Fulton Street meets the East River. A couple of the must-see attractions of the South Street Seaport are Pier 17 and the Seaport Museum. Pier 17 boasts one of the best Manhattan-side views of the historic Brooklyn Bridge.
10. Which borough would be your next destination if you just left Manhattan and were headed over the Williamsburg Bridge?

Answer: Brooklyn

 Three bridges connect Manhattan to Brooklyn, and the Williamsburg Bridge is the northernmost of the three. The two other bridges that connect Brooklyn and Manhattan are none other than the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge. A trick to remembering the order of the bridges from south to north is the acronym "BMW": Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg.
